LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JibJab released a new app today called JibJab Camera (iOS) that helps people make their photos and videos funnier with personalized JibJab stickers. The app is ideal for creating "stories" for Snapchat and Instagram, but can also be used to create photos and videos that can be shared anywhere.

JibJab Camera is free for users and includes over 1,500 stickers that put the creative fire power of JibJab artists directly into the hands of everyday people. Some of the formats available in the app include:

Show your team spirit with JibJab Camera!

Starring You® Stickers. Create classic JibJab style characters featuring the faces of family and friends, and insert those characters into your photos and videos.

Cartoon Avatars. Create a cartoon version of your selfie and use that animated character to add some flair to your photos and videos.

Phrases & More. Find just the right animated phrase, character or prop to help you say whatever it is you want to say and apply them to your photos and videos.

"A new generation is expressing itself in its own unique way in Snapchat, Instagram and on other messaging platforms," said JibJab CEO and co-founder Gregg Spiridellis. "Our mission is to help them be funnier while doing it."

The new JibJab Camera app launches in conjunction with a promotional campaign for NFL Thursday Night Football and other NFL Network games. Across the NFL Network 18-game schedule (of which games will be featured across NFL Network, CBS, NBC and Amazon Prime Video), fans will be able to create personalized NFL avatars and choose from a library of custom content to express their fandom and cheer on their favorite team. The NFL content kicks off with this week's Thursday Night Football match up of Houston Texans at the Cincinnati Bengals. The content available to fans will change dynamically throughout the season for each match up.

While JibJab has long been known for its political satires and dancing elves, it has more recently established itself as the leading provider of original content and tools for messaging. The company's messaging products have been featured in keynote speeches at F8 (Facebook's Developer Conference) and WWDC (Apple's Developer conference), and its app is consistently rated among the top performing entertainment apps in the App Store.
